BELLEVUE, WA – November 28, 2016, Axia Home Loans, a top residential mortgage firm, is delighted to announce the addition of Shelly Schwieso, SVP of Business Development.

Gellert Dornay, President and CEO of Axia Home Loans, had this to say about her hire, “I’m super excited to welcome Shelly to Axia’s executive team! Her decades of experience in leadership roles with the Federal Home Loan Bank, Thornburg, and other fantastic mortgage companies, banks, and GSEs will make a huge contribution to our continued growth and positive impact on the communities we serve.”

After becoming 100% employee owned, Axia has experienced a serious uptick in top candidates interested in joining the company. Employee ownership has had a significant positive effect on the firm’s culture and it shows. Not only do current employees have a higher morale, it also attracts top talent from around the country.
